Everyone Is Lying To You

The world went into a state of shock at the suggestion that Nigel Farage may not tell the truth all the time. It is the case, in fact, that everyone is lying to you. It may come as a great shock to know that people do not like telling the truth and do not do it often.

Comfort can be taken in the knowledge that Nigel Farage only says the nasty things that he does to fit into the merry band of alt-right activists that are reluctant to let him into their gang. He is said to have left a voicemail an hour on Vladmir Putin’s answer machine to ask if he’d seen his meeting with Trump.

If everyone is making things up and getting away with it, why not join in? Worried about not getting a job because you don’t have any work experience? Say you did an internship with Richard Branson which helped him to conquer the Moon. You haven’t been in a relationship since primary school? Tell everyone that you got married to an Australian surfer during your gap year in Morocco. This post-truth world is your oyster.
